A-Max II+ / CrossMac question...

[Splurge]

I was wondering is it possible to create 800k boot disks with either of these two?  I have an A-Max II+ board in my A2500 and I'm able to read 800K mac disks fine with CrossMac, just cant figure out how to create a boot disk to work with A-Max 2.5.

Thanks all

I'm assuming you mean a Mac boot disc for A-Max, right?  A valid Mac boot disk needs a system folder with the associated Mac system files.

Yeah, but when I use the downloaded files from apple's ftp, it wont boot.  I extracted the bin files, and copied them from my OS9 Mac to my Amiga.  Cant seem to get anything to boot.  I found the "Official A-Max" homepage, but their manual is completely unreadable.

If you create 800K floppies on a real Mac, be aware that they have multiple speed zones, only two of which the Amiga can read without special hardware. If you have a Mac emulator already running and create the disks on the Amiga with the emulator, they are written "Amiga style" - all at the same speed. The module that came with AMAX has a connector for hooking a real Mac floppy to the Amiga. That would allow you to read real Mac 800K disks inside the emulator.
